When @patrickmandia, @khoitran19, and I were at Snap, we noticed that social platforms had become the most liquid marketplaces on the internet. Every online community became its own bazaar. And the social formats we built for people to share and interact were also incredibly effective at helping them transact.

Today, customers are gravitating toward more high-fidelity, social experiences like live commerce, but businesses have to rely on major marketplaces to provide them at great cost. We think brands should be able to build and launch these shopping experiences themselves. That means more customization, more control, and better economics for their businesses.

Our agentic commerce builder helps you create shopping apps and websites based on how you want to sell. You can vibe code custom stores and marketplaces with your own set of interactive commerce features on top of infrastructure built for scale.

Take for example YouTuber CrazyLampLady who designed and built her own live shopping marketplace, Niknax, now used by over 5,000 independent sellers and grossing over $5 million in sales. Or @midwestboxbreak who just crossed $3 million in community sales on his own sports card breaking platform.

We believe the next generation of retailers, marketplaces, and brands will be built with District. And that a new wave of commerce entrepreneurs will use the same creativity, insight, and grit that built their businesses to create incredible shopping experiences for the internet.
